The Master's Mask Unveiled Again-Chapter 339 - 338: You Hit Director Qi! (Extra)
Chapter 339 -338: You Hit Director Qi! (Extra)
The words of Ding Cai garnered considerable agreement from the other teachers in the office.
“Teacher Zhang, you’ve been groveling for too long, haven’t you? It’s only when you become strong that others will respect you. The more you grovel and fawn, the more they’ll look down on you!”
“Oh, there’s just one thing not so good about Lu Mian.” A teacher said with a smile, “She’s too exhausted. I heard she’s even gotten sick from it.”
Ding Cai nodded repeatedly: “Exactly! She only rested for one day, and now she’s back to teaching.”
“Lu Mian is truly a role model in our school!”
Listening to this group of teachers’ praise, Zhang Wenqiang became so angry her complexion turned livid, “But still, even if you want to win, you could be a bit more tactful, right?”
...
Ding Cai looked at her with impatience.
“What exactly are you trying to say, Teacher Zhang? The competition is over, and the people from Era Middle School will soon be leaving. It’s a bit late for settling scores now, isn’t it?”
Zhang Wenqiang glared at him with fury and continued, “I’m saying, you can’t let Lu Mian take the lead in the farewell speech again for this sending-off event, find someone else! Anyone will do, just not Lu Mian.”
Lu Mian was involved with Cang Xue’s matter, and she knew about it too. It was precisely because she knew this that she couldn’t let Lu Mian go. After all, if Lu Mian took the stage, it would be the final devastating blow to Era Middle School, to Miss Sheng!
In the future, many of the school’s top students will be applying to Beijing University. For everyone’s sake, she couldn’t let Lu Mian steal the spotlight again.
“Who should replace her then?”
“Let’s have Chen Qin from our class do it; he’s more reliable in his work.”
Ding Cai wore a look that said he saw right through her little schemes and curled his lip: “Whether Lu Mian wants to go or not is another matter. I’ll go ask her first.” Maybe the esteemed one doesn’t even care for such matters!
Ding Cai didn’t bother with Zhang Wenqiang anymore and bypassed her to head to the classroom.
However, he didn’t find Lu Mian in the classroom. According to Guo Zihao and the others, Lu Mian had gone to the back mountain.
——
At the back mountain pavilion.
Finally having some free time, Lu Mian came here, thinking about whether there were any new discoveries to be made.
There were no new discoveries for the time being, but she did see someone standing there.
Narrowing her eyes, Lu Mian took a quick glance and was quite surprised once she recognized who it was.
Gu Jingyi had her twin ponytails combed soft and smooth, her eyes red and teary as if she were deeply saddened.

Muttering to herself, Lu Mian couldn’t hear clearly, and didn’t intend to listen. She stopped in her tracks and, kicking a small stone beneath her feet, turned to head back to the classroom.
Gu Jingyi noticed her and called out from behind.
“I heard that this place is off-limits in your school! As soon as you enter this pavilion, your heart will race, and breathing becomes difficult. There was even a student who didn’t believe it, took one step inside, and ended up being rushed to emergency care.”
Lu Mian turned around, this time not missing the fleeting complex emotion on Gu Jingyi’s face. She felt a bit puzzled, not understanding.
She hadn’t offended her, had she?
The resentful and accusing look in Gu Jingyi’s eyes quickly cleared up her confusion: “That night, you struck Director Qimo, and you left with him!”
Lu Mian tilted her head, a small pebble she had just kicked up landing on the tip of her shoe. She hesitated for a moment.
She had hit Xiao Qimo?
The marks on Xiao Qimo’s face were from her?
She didn’t remember any of that, and she had no reason to hit Xiao Qimo.
So, the other person must have said this deliberately.
She didn’t think there was anything worth discussing with Gu Jingyi.
But it was this Gu Jingyi who often appeared before her, who had said those strange things to her that night in the private room.
She curved the corners of her lips, not wanting to discuss these matters with Gu Jingyi, simply saying, “I’ll give you some advice, stay away from that place.”
Having said that, she casually kicked the small stone on her toe. The stone flew precisely through the high-voltage fence toward the pavilion.
The sound of the pebble hitting the ground normally was absent, replaced instead by a low hum as the stone was pulverized within the pavilion.
She was demonstrating the danger of this place.
Having such a hazardous place within the school was indeed troublesome; no one could enter to dismantle it, and they could only block off the danger inside with a high-voltage fence, also strictly forbidding the students from entering.
Gu Jingyi covered her heart with both hands, her face turning pale with fright in an instant.
“How can your school have such a dangerous place…”
“Heh,” Lu Mian chuckled. The school didn’t want such a place either, but there was nothing they could do about it when they were stuck with it.
“Stop lingering there, let’s go back,” Lu Mian said, ready to leave.
Yet, Gu Jingyi stood rooted to the spot without moving, and even in the direction Lu Mian couldn’t see, her eyes were darkly glinting with a hidden gleam.
She bit her lip and took a step forward, moving closer to the pavilion.
Lu Mian felt a chill down her spine and narrowed her eyes as she looked back, only to see Gu Jingyi walking forward as if marching to her death, heedlessly.
She narrowed her eyes.
The first thought that popped into her head was: The school’s going to have big trouble.
“Crazy!”
She had just demonstrated how dangerous that place was, and on top of that, there was the high voltage outside!
Lu Mian felt agitated and changed the direction of her departing footsteps, quickly walking over to yank Gu Jingyi back just as she was about to touch the high-voltage fence.
However, the other party was determined to charge forward, and the seemingly petite girl had a surprising amount of strength at this moment.
Lu Mian was even more baffled.
“The person I love is in this school, and I want to stay here forever, watching him forever!”
Gu Jingyi muttered this before diving headlong forward.
“If you want to die, don’t die in our school!”
Lu Mian chastised her, about to pull her out with greater force, when something completely unexpected happened!
The other person suddenly darted to the side, using Lu Mian’s momentum against her, pushing her toward the pavilion!
The electricity in the high-voltage fence had been cut off at some point, and several wires had been severed.
Pushed by the inertia, Lu Mian quickly entered the pavilion.
In that moment, Lu Mian understood.
It turns out the other person didn’t seek her own death, but instead sought hers.
Lu Mian gave a sudden laugh, the corners of her mouth turning up in a bloodthirsty and frenzied grin, her cool eyes frosting over with a thick layer of ice as she looked out through the fence.
But she saw a trace of oddity flicker across the originally tearful eyes of Gu Jingyi.
Heh, interesting.
What Gu Jingyi wanted to see was Lu Mian being torn apart inside the pavilion, to witness her reduced to pieces in this “accident.”
However—
She didn’t get to see the outcome she desired. Staring unblinkingly, she could only witness Lu Mian standing leisurely in the middle of the pavilion, completely unharmed!
There was no sign of the breathing difficulties or accelerated heartbeat mentioned in the rumors, nor did she crumble like the small pebble just had upon entering the pavilion.
How could… this be possible?!
As she stood there shocked and unprepared, Lu Mian smoothed back her wind-disheveled hair and walked out calmly.
She brushed off some dust from her school uniform, wrapped in an undissolvable aura of resentment and bloodlust.
Step by step, she approached Gu Jingyi.
